NO BORROW
BY CITY
TREASURER says finances
ARE IN BETTER SHAPE
THAN EVER BEFORE
Since the injunction against the
city in regard to a light plant and
the allegations therein that the city
officials were planning to spend a
large sum of money in the treasury
there has been considerable discus
sion as to the condition of the city’s
finances. The Tlmes-Bnterprise in
terviewed City Treasurer John W.
H. Mitchell about this matter. The
treasurer said: “The finances of
the city are in better shape this year
than they have been for a long time.
Heretofore it has always been neces
sary for the council to borrow several
thousand dollars to finish out the
year with. This, of course, had
to be repaid when the taxes for the
next year came In. The result was
that the city was continually in the
hole. Last year they commencted
to borrow In June and kept It up un
til the end of the year. So far this
year we have not borowed any money
and we will be able to finish out the
year without going into debt. The
Income of the city has been greater
this year than last year for several
reasons. One is that the specific
liconses were raised in many cases,
and some businesses that had never
heretofore been taxed were put on
the license list. Then there has been
a more business liko method of col
lecting licenses. I have kept right
up with them.. In the past the sys
tem has been lax and licenses that
were due in March have not been
paid until October.
How about the street tax?” was
asked.
Well, about nine hunderd have
paid that.”
What has become of that $3,
000?” was the next question.
“It has been stent on the streets
Id Mr. Mitchell.
“They don’t look it,” said the now
\
taper man.
“It takes a heap more money then
011 suppose to keep things In *ot
dor The town Is widely spread out.
When you consider the miles
streots that we have to keep in order
the showing is not a bad one.”
“Well, why is it that the streets
are in worse shape now than they
have ever been?”
“I do not admit that they are.
have seen them when they were
worse. They were in better shape
when we bad a chain gang and kept
them at work all the time on the
streets but that cost about ten thou
sand dollars a year.”
Mr. Mitchell’s statement about the
condition of the treasury will be read
will interest. His statement that
all the street tax Is spent on the
streets will create considerable sur
prise. His opinion that the streets
are not In bad shape will also be read
with curiosity. *
A Boston Snake Story.
Prof. A. Q. Moody on opening a
washstand drawer a few days ago
found a complete snako skin. It Is
supposed the snake was hunting rats,
and while In the drawer the time
had arrived for the annual opera
tion of shedding his skin and thus
he left a reminder of his visit.—

MANY FREE
RURAL ROUTES
GRIGGS TELLS OF NEW ONES
FOR THOMAS COUNTY AND
OTHER PLACES
Dawson, Ga., Sept. 23.—Congress
man Griggs has been advised recent
ly of orders of the post office depart
ment establishing a number of rural
routes throughout the second dis
trict. The following towns in accord
unco with these orders will be the
bases of this additional rural deliv
ery service: Lenox, Thomasville,
Ashburn, Oclilockonce, Parrott, Sale
City, Kestler, Ftovo, Nashville and
DawBon; Sylvester, Tlfton, Adel,
Whtgham, Pelham, Cotton, Doerun,
Moultrie, Edison, Cuthbert, Ash
burn, Iron City, Climax, Albany,
Boston, Bluffton, Newton and other
towns.
There are a large number of R.
F. D. petitions from this district still
pending and it is probable that many
of these will become effective dur-
the'next few months. It appears that
within the next year or two this,
as well as the other districts In this
state will be practically covered by
the rural delivery service.
This fact is a source of much grat
ification not only to those who are
and will be served thereby, but to
Judge Griggs, who has worked in-
defatlgably for the promotion of
dally delivery of mail to the citizens
of the rural districts. When he
was elected to Congress In 1806 the
rural free delivery service was In Its
inclplency and the few routes that
had been established wer,e largely
experimental. Judge Griggs saw
the convenience and justice in the
system. While the original idea
was not his, the subsequent growth
and development of the service are
largely atributable to his untiring
efforts In its behalf. It Is a signifi
cant fact that every Increased appro
priation for the rural free deliver?
service has. been made on the'motion
of Congressman Griggs on the post
office committee.
